I think it is a shame that yabb don't keep there own versions up to date! I just downloaded yabb from the site, surly I do NOT have to already update?

Well I think just about any piece of software now a days you will have to install the software and then go to the web and check for updates. Have you every used a piece of microsoft software, and once you installed it, that it did not have updates, I think not. So I think they are doing a good job and keeping things just up the best that they can.

i just wanted to say thanks to the coders for being on top of things ! we all appreciate the fantastic forum that YaBB SE is.i got the forum announcement when i checked email, applied it in yabb pack center, and all this in under 120 seconds .
